Test drive Buick Regal T – Perception is unlikely to lead you to a Buick dealership when you are looking for a car that is fun to drive on twisty roads and you are younger than 55. However, in the case of the Regal T, you’d be missing a very capable car which ended up with the Buick logo only by accident. This Regal is not your grandma’s sofa on wheels.

After some time in the Regal, we would not go as far as calling this sedan with a turbocharged 2.0 liter engine an enthusiast’s choice, but it is probably the closest Buick has come to a complete package in a long, long time. It certainly is the most exciting version of the car since the second-gen G-body model that was introduced in 1978 and was built until 1987.
Buick had been the first GM division to bring a personal luxury car to market with its full-size 1963 Riviera but was otherwise slow to react to the developing lower-priced mid-size personal luxury market, which Pontiac created with the 1969 Grand Prix and Chevrolet with the Monte Carlo the following year, 1970.

Buick Regal At the same time Oldsmobile added a formal notchback coupe to its intermediate line, the Cutlass Supreme, in 1970 and that model soon became Olds' best selling intermediate. Wanting a model that could be marketed to compete against the Olds Cutlass Supreme as well as the Grand Prix and Monte Carlo, Buick introduced the Regal for 1973, as a top line special coupe in that division's intermediate A-body line, the Century. The year 1973 also marked the introduction of the first major restyling of GM's intermediate A-body design since 1968.
The Buick Regal is a mid-size car introduced by General Motors for the 1973 model year. North American production ended in 2004, but the model continued in China. For the 2011 model year, Buick introduced an all new Regal for the North American market, positioned as an upscale sport sedan. Buick Regal
